Howdy all,
REALLY interested in the TD Pro Race 1 or 1.2 in 15 inch size for my soon-to-order MCS....couple of questions:

1. Do I need hub rings?? If so what is the centerbore of their wheel??

2. Will the stock lug bolts work? Or will I be buying new ones?

Thanks and happy motoring!

 

im not a Team Dynamics fan, but i can help...

1. You don't NEED it, but recommended. 56.1mm dia.
2. Yes, stock lugs should work as long as the wheels take the cone shaped lugs (not the acorn type).

 

thanks for the reply ken........have you had a past bad experience with TD wheels? Or just not into them?

NO! These wheels come bored to 56.1mm already, NO rings are needed (if you buy the 1.2s)

>2. Will the stock lug bolts work? Or will I be buying new ones?

Stock lug nuts will work! They are fine.

Check out my TD PR1.2s in the attached photo!

They are awesome! Make sure you get the right offset though, they sent me too aggresive an offset. It works, but just barely...

Hey there Rally!

Your car is sooooo sweet!!!
Do you have a suggestion for the 15 inch wheel offset size??
You said earlier that they sent you a too aggressive one??? Their website says 15-45mm range for offsets?


Thanx!

 

Heeey!

Thanks for the compliments!

As for the offset, you want to order an __et.40__, this will work with the rubber that I have (225/50/R15) as well as narrower stuff such as the standard (205/55/R15). I like my wide tires, they look really good and have a nice stance (as well as a WHOLE LOTTA GRIP!)

When Team Dynamics sent me my wheels they sent me et.30 which is VERY aggresive, and caused some rubbed with the fender liner. Not too bad (nothing an exacto knife couldn't fix) but not something that _should_ happen. As for now its OK, and it looks AWESOME! The extra width looks really good.

But I think this is the MAX offset you can run on this car, maybe even a hair too much. I may step down to the et.40 when I have the $$$ to swap out wheels again.

Anyway, excellent idea switching ot 15's, I am VERY happy I did, nothing but good things to say!

no, not bad experience. just not the style i wanted for my
MCS, that's all.

 

I think TD wheels are manufactured for many applications. And so, I also think you will find a wide variety of offsets and bore sizes. If you do not specifiy what you are looking for in these two areas you will likely get an offset that is not 'your' ideal and a bore size that requires hubcentric rings. Both my BBS and TD wheels have the rings - no problems. If you can work with hubcentric rings, and, your offset is available, you'll have your wheels relatively quickly. I wanted a different offset, but I would have had to wait for another ship...as days, weeks and months pass. I wanted 42mm and settled with 45mm.

 

i just put on TD pro race 1.2 on my car and received hub rings from a local shop as where i got the wheels shipped from did not have them in stock. well i ran the ones locally and they werent the right size ( i shoulda known) and the car has steering wheel vibration pretty bad for a while. i got the right size on them now and all vibration went away soon as they were on.

so whatever people tell you , they DO help with centering and keeping vibration down when mounting your wheels.

 

RallyMINI2005, what width are your 15" TDR's?

 

Wheels are 15"X7"

The tires are 225/50/R15 which makes them look so fat!
